What channel is Malta v England on TV tonight with game not on ITV, BBC or Sky

England will look to extend their unbeaten start to Euro 2024 qualifying when they take on Malta tonight.

Gareth Southgate's team are currently top of Group C after beating Ukraine and Italy back in March. Malta on the other hand are bottom of the group, and their aggregate score against England in all competitions is 14-1.

Malta are ranked 172nd in the world, and truly have the odds stacked against them, but they will have home advantage for this fixture.

Elsewhere in Group C, North Macedonia host Ukraine at the same kick-off time. The Three Lions will then face North Macedonia on Monday night at Old Trafford in Manchester.

It will be the final round of Euro 2024 qualifying until September 9th.

The Nations League is also taking place this week, with Croatia and Spain winning their respective semi-finals against Netherlands and Italy. The final between Croatia and Spain will take place on Sunday, June 18th.

This is why Italy haven't been in Euro qualifying action in England's group.

What has the manager said?

England manager Gareth Southgate on City's partying after the success: "There is a line but in our head we weren't thinking of including the City players for this game.

"I have spoken with the players. We have talked about where the focus needs to be, where we need them to be and acknowledged what they have experienced and that's for me to manage.

"A few of our players would be teetotal. What is different is that everyone posts everything [on social media]. I wouldn't have liked a few of my nights out to be posted publicly. My generation would have a lot more problems."
